Why is a Wrestlemania level match, happening at a B pay-per-view?

#2 Keeping Reigns in an important non-title program

After all, we all know who he'll be facing at Wrestlemania, in New Orleans

Few things in life are certain, but in all likelihood, Reigns will face Lesnar for the Universal Championship at Wrestlemania in New Orleans this year. Since his future is already set, it makes sense for the Big Dog to be kept away from the Universal Championship until then. There's nothing bigger than a feud between the two men, and some may even say that it's a bigger deal than a mere Universal Championship match.

What of John Cena in that case? Whom does he face at Wrestlemania? We do not know the answer, but it's certainly a compelling question.
